Surefoot stands

[Justin B.]

Yeah, the instructions did leave a bit to be desired but I was lucky my '81 R100 came with one.  Plus, I think I remember in my instructions that it said to turn the exhaust hanger around "backwards", I tried and there was no way it would fit up...

Well I'll be.....I did not notice that the first pic posted had to be scrolled down to see the way the exhaust hangar had been moved from the rear exhaust mount to accommodate the front hole of the Brown stand. NOW it makes sense and I apologise for being so dumb and having to ask an obvious question. Of course, I say this before i go out to the bike in the shed and look at it in reality. I should not be back.....I hope...thank you all.

Happily I return to say the new Brown stand is mounted!! The only thing I did a bit differently is use another exhaust clamp I had around the place for the front mounting hole and I left the other one on the engine mounting bolt along with the back brown stand's hole. I couldn't use the stand's nut/bolt as my clamp had this built in with it's own bolt. Brown's bolt not nearly long enough. Now I sure hope to be able to park anywhere!!!   So it just goes to show ya that sometimes a picture is NOT worth a thousand words...and a few words help for dunces like me.
